Our dear friend and esteemed guest teacher Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo has very graciously agreed to give a teaching on:
Atisha’s Root Verses on Training the Mind
You can find the text here and Atisha’s life story here.
On our Movie Day, Monday March 28 @ 2pm, we will screen “Cave in the Snow”, a documentary about Jetsunma’s life and practice.
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo was born in England, and became one of the first Westerners to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. She lived for 12 years in a remote Himalayan Cave, developing the profound store of wisdom that she expresses in her Teaching. For the last 15 years, Jetsunma has focused on establishing Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery.
In 2008, Tenzin Palmo was given the rare title of Jetsunma, which means Venerable Master, by His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa, in recognition of her spiritual achievements as a nun and her efforts in promoting the status of female practitioners in Tibetan Buddhism.
